Score Sample

Work Overview

Empire is a work influence by the act of 'shoeing',
throwing shoes as an insult. Inspired by the events surround a
shoeing of George Bush in Iraq, and another of John Howard on
prime time TV in Australia, the graphic score uses the outlines
of images of these events to make up the melodic detail. In
addition, the piece begins with a shoe throwing, that becomes an
integral part of the peice.
